Mga Awit 55
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Panalangin ng Isang Pinagtaksilan ng Kaibigan
Isang Maskil[a] ni David, upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit; sa saliw ng mga instrumentong may kuwerdas.
55 Ang panalangin ko, O Diyos, pakinggan,
mga daing ko ay huwag namang layuan.
2 Lingapin mo ako, ako ay sagipin,
sa bigat ng aking mga suliranin.
3 Sa maraming banta ng mga kaaway,
nalilito ako't hindi mapalagay.
Ang dulot sa akin nila'y kaguluhan,
namumuhi sila't may galit ngang tunay.
4 Itong aking puso'y tigib na ng lumbay,
sa aking takot na ako ay pumanaw.
5 Sa tindi ng takot, ako'y nanginginig,
sinasaklot ako ng sindak na labis.
6 Wika ko, “Kung ako lamang ay may pakpak, parang kalapati, ako ay lilipad;
hahanapin ko ang dakong panatag.
7 Aking liliparin ang malayong lugar,
at doon sa ilang ako mananahan. (Selah)[b]
8 Ako ay hahanap agad ng kanlungan
upang makaiwas sa bagyong darating.”
9 Sila ay wasakin, Yahweh, guluhin mo; pag-uusap nila'y bayaang malito,
yamang karahasan ang nakikita ko, at sa lunsod nila ay nagkakagulo.
10 Sa lunsod na puno ng sama't ligalig,
araw-gabi'y doon sila lumiligid;
11 Sa gitna ng lunsod na wasak nang tunay, naghahari pa rin ang katiwalian;
pati pang-aapi ay nasasaksihan.
12 Kaya kong mabata at mapagtiisan,
kung ang mangungutya ay isang kaaway;
kung ang maghahambog ay isang kalaban,
kayang-kaya ko pang siya'y pagtaguan!
13 Ang mahirap nito'y tunay kong kasama,
aking kaibigang itinuturing pa!
14 Dati'y kausap ko sa bawat sandali
at maging sa templo, kasama kong lagi.
15 Biglang kamatayan nawa ay dumating,
ihuhulog ng buháy, sa daigdig ng mga patay;
sa kanilang puso't maging sa tahanan, yaong naghahari'y pawang kasamaan.
16 Kay Yahweh lang ako hihingi ng saklolo;
aking natitiyak, ililigtas ako.
17 Sa umaga't hapon, maging sa gabi rin.
Aking itataghoy ang mga hinaing,
at ang aking tinig ay kanyang diringgin.
18 Ililigtas ako mula sa labanan,
at pababaliking taglay ang tagumpay,
matapos gapiin ang mga kaaway.
19 Ang Diyos na hari sa mula't mula pa
ay diringgin ako, lulupigin sila; (Selah)[c]
pagkat ni sa kanya'y wala silang takot,
ayaw nang magbago at magbalik-loob.
20 Itong taong dati'y aking kasamahan, mga kaibiga'y kanyang kinalaban;
at hindi tumupad sa 'ming kasunduan.
21 Ang dulas ng dila'y parang mantekilya,
ngunit nasa puso pagkapoot niya;
ang mga salita niya'y tulad ng langis,
ngunit parang tabak ang talas at tulis.
22 Ilagak kay Yahweh iyong suliranin,
aalalayan ka't ipagtatanggol rin;
ang taong matuwid, di niya bibiguin.
23 Ngunit ang bulaan at mamamatay-tao,
O Diyos, sa hukay, sila'y itapon mo.
Hindi magtatagal, ang buhay nila sa daigdig,
ngunit tanging sa Diyos ako ay mananalig.

Psalm 55
English Standard Version
Cast Your Burden on the Lord
To the choirmaster: with (A)stringed instruments. A Maskil[a] of David.
55 (B)Give ear to my prayer, O God,
and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy!
2 Attend to me, and answer me;
I am restless (C)in my complaint and I (D)moan,
3 because of the noise of the enemy,
because of the oppression of the wicked.
For they (E)drop trouble upon me,
and in anger they bear a grudge against me.
4 My heart is in anguish within me;
(F)the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 Fear and trembling come upon me,
and (G)horror (H)overwhelms me.
6 And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest;
7 (I)yes, I would wander far away;
I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah
8 I would hurry to find a shelter
from (J)the raging wind and tempest.”
9 Destroy, O Lord, (K)divide their tongues;
for I see (L)violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go around it
on its walls,
and (M)iniquity and trouble are within it;
11 ruin is in its midst;
(N)oppression and fraud
do not depart from its marketplace.
12 For it is not an enemy who taunts me—
then I could bear it;
it is not an adversary who (O)deals insolently with me—
then I could hide from him.
13 (P)But it is you, a man, my equal,
my companion, my familiar friend.
14 We used to take sweet counsel together;
within God's house we walked in (Q)the throng.
15 Let death steal over them;
let them go down to Sheol (R)alive;
for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart.
16 But I call to God,
and the Lord will save me.
17 (S)Evening and (T)morning and at (U)noon
I (V)utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
18 He redeems my soul in safety
from the battle that I wage,
for (W)many are arrayed against me.
19 God will give ear and humble them,
he who is (X)enthroned from of old, Selah
because they do not (Y)change
and do not fear God.
20 My companion[b] (Z)stretched out his hand against his friends;
he violated his covenant.
21 His (AA)speech was (AB)smooth as butter,
yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were (AC)drawn swords.
22 (AD)Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
(AE)he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.
23 But you, O God, (AF)will cast them down
into (AG)the pit of destruction;
men of (AH)blood and treachery
shall not (AI)live out half their days.
But I will (AJ)trust in you.
